I just thought it was time to update the photos....
To keep things super simple, just use the zest from the same oranges used for juicing. No need to worry about exact measurements. The best part of this recipe is how adaptable it is.

If your oranges seem hard, heat them in the microwave for 15 seconds and roll them over a hard surface with your palm before juicing....
